Is Watershed a concept album?

[Frosties]

Yeah, I'd consider GR a concept album. I know that Mikael said it wasn't because Isolation Years doesn't fit with the concept, but that's just one, really short song. The rest of the album definitely has recurring themes and some sort of narrative going on.

Yeah, what does he know, right?

 

[Mantraschism]

Genii.

'Genii' is NOT the plural of 'genius' in this case. 'Geniuses' is correct.

 

[EternalDamnation06]

maybe they will just provide one line from each song within the booklet.....and take the Metalliica "Load" approach for Road Runner....


(im obviously kidding)

 

[Brave.Archangel]

it's a concept about 5 guys getting together and writing an awesome album
hence
the album

^ how philosophical.

not that i've listened to the lyrics much but the only thing uniting the songs is the constant references to sorrow.

 

[BrutalD]

^idiot. how you dare compare opeth lyrics with "death metal" lyrics.

There are some death metal lyrics comparable to Opeth's and Mike growls like a true death metaller and takes massive influence vocally from Morbid Angel/Death/Entombed/Napalm Death etc, so please don't bitch.

 

[Vivören]

Death metal lyrics: "Fuck this Fuck that I'm gonna kill everyone cause I am so pissed off."

What DM bands have you been listening to?

 

[Ümlaut]

Typical Opeth style song...

Autumn has come.
I remember it because it came last year too.
Winter comes after Autumn.
Autumn will be back again.

 

[isolation_years]

yeah i must admit even cannibal corpse's lyrics, although disturbing, are well written(sometimes) and they use some good words

 

[Ümlaut]

Most of Opeth's lyrics are well done, in my opinion.

 

[Eternalnow]

OH really???? Please let us know the many hoardes of bands out there that write as captivating and emotional lyrics as opeth? Yeah . . . . . say some other faggot ass DM band and you deserve a kick in the nut sack

Kornuke:

By the way, learn some fucking manners, monkey!

 

[Ümlaut]

Korn

Korn... sucks ass.

 

[Eternalnow]

Korn... sucks ass.

/cry

 

[Ümlaut]

Seriously, almost every song is about how J.D. was picked on in highschool and how he was molested by his grandmother.

Get a new theme, Korn.

Cryptopsy.


On a serious note, Pink Floyd comes to mind.
